As specified in the datasheet, the driver can set the "L4Chk_Mode" flag (bit 10) in the Tx descriptor command/status to specify that a frame is not IP fragmented and that the controller is in charge of generating the TCP/IP checksum. This must be used together with the "GL4chk" flag (bit 17). These two flags allow to avoid setting the initial TCP checksum in the l4i_chk field of the Tx descriptor, which is needed to support software TSO.

Now that the TSO helper API has been introduced, this commit makes use of it to implement the TSO in this driver. Using iperf to test and vmstat to check the CPU usage, shows a substantial CPU usage drop when TSO is on (~15% vs. ~25%). HTTP-based tests performed by Willy Tarreau have shown performance improvements. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next, most relevantly they are: 1) Add set element update notification via netlink, from Arturo Borrero. 2) Put all object updates in one single message batch that is sent to kernel-space. Before this patch only rules where included in the batch. This series also introduces the generic transaction infrastructure so updates to all objects (tables, chains, rules and sets) are applied in an all-or-nothing fashion, these series from me. 3) Defer release of objects via call_rcu to reduce the time required to commit changes. The assumption is that all objects are destroyed in reverse order to ensure that dependencies betweem them are fulfilled (ie. rules and sets are destroyed first, then chains, and finally tables). 4) Allow to match by bridge port name, from Tomasz Bursztyka. This series include two patches to prepare this new feature. 5) Implement the proper set selection based on the characteristics of the data. The new infrastructure also allows you to specify your preferences in terms of memory and computational complexity so the underlying set type is also selected according to your needs, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Several cleanup patches for nft expressions, including one minor possible compilation breakage due to missing mark support, also from Patrick. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Shannon makes minor changes to the AdminQ interface to bring it up to date. Removes the hard coding of stats struct size in ethtool, in prep for adding data fields which are configuration dependent. Catherine removes some unused and unneeded PCI bus defines. Jesse fixes the copyright headers and finishes up the removal of the PTP Tx work functionality which allows us to rely on the Tx timesync interrupt. Mitch provides a number of fixes and cleanups for i40e/i40evf based on suggestions from Ben Hutchings. First is to use a macro parameter for ethtool stats instead of just assuming that a valid netdev variable exists. Second is not to tell ethtool that the VF can do 10GbaseT, when it really has no idea what its link speed is, so set the supported value to 0 instead. Make the ethtool_ops structure constant since it is extremely unlikely to change at runtime. Ethtool consistently reports 0 values for our ITR settings because we never actually use them, so fix this by setting the default values to the specified default values. Greg avoids a compile error by wrapping the call to i40e_alloc_vfs() in CONFIG_PCI_IOV because the function itself is wrapped in the same conditional compile block. Alexander Gordeev updates the driver to use the new pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() or pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact(). Jean Sacren provides a fix where the wrong error code was being passed to i40e_open(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Experience with the recent e114a710 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too large, among other things. The main problems seemed to be: (1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding packets. (2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not needed). This commit improves both of these, by: (1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window ("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the moment we finished sending that flight. (2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.

Kernel API for classic BPF socket filters is: sk_unattached_filter_create() - validate classic BPF, convert, JIT SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_unattached_filter_destroy() - destroy socket filter Cleanup internal BPF kernel API as following: sk_filter_select_runtime() - final step of internal BPF creation. Try to JIT internal BPF program, if JIT is not available select interpreter SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_filter_free() - free internal BPF program Disallow direct calls to BPF interpreter. Execution of the BPF program should be done with SK_RUN_FILTER() macro. Example of internal BPF create, run, destroy: struct sk_filter *fp; fp = kzalloc(sk_filter_size(prog_len), GFP_KERNEL); memcpy(fp->insni, prog, prog_len * sizeof(fp->insni[0])); fp->len = prog_len; sk_filter_select_runtime(fp); SK_RUN_FILTER(fp, ctx); sk_filter_free(fp); Sockets, seccomp, testsuite, tracing are using different ways to populate sk_filter, so first steps of program creation are not common.

Sujith Sankar authored
This patch adds support for adaptive interrupt coalescing. For small pkts with low pkt rate, we can decrease the coalescing interrupt dynamically which decreases the latency. This however increases the cpu utilization. Based on testing with different coal intr and pkt rate we came up with a table(mod_table) with rx_rate and coalescing interrupt value where we get low latency without significant increase in cpu. mod_table table stores the coalescing timer percentage value for different throughputs. Function enic_calc_int_moderation() calculates the desired coalescing intr timer value. This function is called in driver rx napi_poll. The actual value is set by enic_set_int_moderation() which is called when napi_poll is complete. i.e when we unmask the rx intr. Adaptive coal intr is support only when driver is using msix intr. Because intr is not shared. Struct mod_range is used to store only the default adaptive coalescing intr value. Adaptive coal intr calue is calculated by timer = range_start + ((rx_coal->range_end - range_start) * mod_table[index].range_percent / 100); rx_coal->range_end is the rx-usecs-high value set using ethtool. range_start is rx-usecs-low, set using ethtool, if rx_small_pkt_bytes_cnt is greater than 2 * rx_large_pkt_bytes_cnt. i.e small pkts are dominant. Else its rx-usecs-low + 3.

tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high. We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added to the wait queue. Ran performance tests with the following configuration: - my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer - sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core - sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can - sandy bridge cores - throughput are receiver side goodput numbers The results are baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus Co-authored-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Xi Wang <xii@google.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

The commit 6c167f58 ("i40e: Refactor and cleanup i40e_open(), adding i40e_vsi_open()") introduced a new function i40e_vsi_open() with the regression by a typo. Due to the commit, the wrong error code would be passed to i40e_open(). Fix this error in i40e_vsi_open() by turning the macro into a negative value so that i40e_open() could return the pertinent error code correctly.
